Miriam Makeba
 

South Africa’s living legend of song, the artist for whom the term world music was invented, Miriam Makeba arrives for an historic celebration of Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday and one of just two American performances on her farewell tour.

Saturday, June 14, 7:30 p.m.
with Bakithi Kumalo & Friends
Bakithi Kumalo, among South Africa’s greatest exports (his bass was the backbone of Paul Simon’s Graceland), puts together an all-star collection of local ex-pats to start the party.

$3 suggested donation. At the Bandshell.
